Economic Development began in October 2011 with the creation of DEO. One year, 50
workshops and 3,000 participants later, DEO is marking the first anniversary of the agency with

Economic Development
Staff will provide an update on two statewide energy planning projects that TBRPC is
leading. One project relates to energy resiliency or identifying ways to diversify our
energy sources. The second project relates to energy assurance or what steps should we
be prepared to take in the event of an energy disruption. Our partners include the Florida
Regional Planning Councils, the U.S. Economic Development Administration, U.S.
Department of Energy, and the Florida Office of Energy. A basic premise of these
studies is identifying strategies to diversify Florida's energy future and reduce reliance on
foreign energy sources. Increased domestic energy usage means domestic jobs.
We have created two surveys in order to understand the current energy infrastructure
paradigm from both a resident and non-residential perspective. The survey may be found
at www.florida-energy.org. Responses will be kept anonymous and will only be reported
in summary form.
